Over the last few weeks, I’ve introduced you to Taher and his family. I’ve shared their story of watching Iranian secret police ransack their home for names and photos of other Christians and then blindfolding and arresting Taher.
I hope your heart has been been encouraged and inspired by this family’s faith and passion to see others meet Christ and know Him deeply.
As Iranian refugees in Turkey, Taher and his family live in poverty with no financial support. They could be deported at any time. While they may not be targets of police or facing prison for leaving Islam, they still struggle as strangers in a strange land. For them, Iran is still home. A home they long to return to someday.
Over the last month, many of you have told us that you’re praying for and supporting these believers. Now, you have an opportunity to encourage your family—Taher, Donya, Farah and Arezoo—with your letters and emails.
Thank you in advance for showing Jesus to your sisters and brothers through your words and actions. This family has inspired us with their courage and faith. I love that we can, in turn, tangibly strengthen them.
While the risk and hardship are ever-present for this family—and thousands of other Christians who live as Iranian refugees—Taher and Donya say Jesus is worth it.
“Jesus is worth everything,” Donya shares. “And, in my opinion, we have not paid any price yet.”
Taher adds: “I would give even more.”

The following request applies to any of the christian ministries that are currently getting visitors from my blog:
I am currently blogging: https://webmaster220.blogspot.com I would like to place a banner on the right side of my home page that promotes your ministry If I do that and it helps your ministry grow and expand do you have a suggestion as to what type of commission or contribution could be paid to my ministry. The reason I am saying that is there are a lot of ministries out there that are buying advertising space online and yours could be one of them for all I know. I have been an affiliate marketer for years on my blog but no commissions have ever been earned even though I am doing everything required to be done to earn the commissions. My blog readers are just not interested in spending any money on any of the goods or services discussed in my banner ads and text links. To reply, use the contact form below this paragraph Thanks, Rick Livermore - Webmaster220
